WHAT IS AN OPTION?If you buy a new car, and then buy auto insurance on the car, you pay a premium and are, hence, protected if the asset is damaged in an accident. If this happens, you can use your insurance policy to regain the insured value of the car. In this way, the Put Option gains in value as the value of the underlying instrument decreases. If all goes well and the insurance is not needed, the insurance company keeps your premium in return for taking on the risk. With a Put Option, you can “insure” a stock by fixing a selling price.
